Texas A&M basketball fans are still recovering from the disappointing midweek loss on Tuesday to an admittedly excellent Mississippi State team. Though the Bulldogs are nothing to sniff at, Aggie fans felt that the Maroon and White simply played a bad game in Starkville, and could have well taken home a win if they had played their game.
That's in the past, now, though. Aggie fans have a huge, top-10 matchup this weekend to look forward to when Tennessee rolls into town.
The Aggies have had success against Tennessee in Reed Arena in recent years. They've beaten them each of the past two years at Reed, and are hoping to make it three in a row with this one.
Here's everything you need to know about how to watch this game.

The Volunteers, coached by Rick Barnes, occupy what has become a perennial spot for them up inside the top 10— this year, in the top 5. They are led by guard Zakai Zigler, who apparently will never, ever age out of college basketball, and a ferocious defensive style.
The Aggies will have a lot to overcome if they want to come out of this matchup in a favorable spot. This is maybe the most intimidating foe they have yet played; however, there is reason for hope. The Aggies have been excellent at home while Tennessee has been just okay on the road in SEC play, and you can bet the Reed Arena crowd will be fully behind the Aggies with every bounce of the ball.
